. It ia Incoming more and more apparent ev
ery day that the course pursued by Mr. Bu
chanan and the leaders of Lis party on the
Kansas question, ia highly distasteful to the
honest-minded portion of the party, and that
unless they can make a master-stroke of poli
cy, an overwhelming defeat cannot be averted
That they will endeavor by some means to
prevent Bach a disastrous result, cannot be
doubted ; whether they will succeed, remains
to be seen. Locofocoism, we know, is a sub
tle, cunning institution, and seldom at a lesa
for means to tnrn things to its own advantage
Its leaders are always on the look-out, watch
ing the tide of public opinion, so as to be
ready to fish at the flood. Latterly they hare
observed that the policy of Protection to A
merican Industry has taken strong hold cpon
the minds of the masses, and that this ques
tion will be the principal issue in the approach
jng Congressional election, as well as the next
Presidential contest. Several weeks since we
noticed that, in order to save the party from
that destruction which the Lecompton igno
miny has rendered inevitable, the Pennsylva
nia members of Congress of the Democratic
faith would soon attempt to mount the protec
tive tariff bobby, and npon that drive ahead of
tho Opposition. This, we see, they are stri
ving to do. J. Glancy Jones, of Berks, and
Owen Jones of tho Montgomery district, have,
it is said, openly avowed themselves in favor
of an increase of the rates of duty on foreign
goods. As a co temporary remarks, if this be
true, it shows a highly praiseworthy change of
nentiment in the two Joneses ; but we agree
with him that no confidence can be placed in
their professions, as their conversion is too
sudden. Their object is too apparent a re
election is, perhaps, what they desire ; and
then, most probably, they will forget their
promises, violate their pledges, and turn trai
tors to those whom they induced to "stick to
the ticket." In 1844 the Democracy shouted
for "Polk, Dallas, Shunk and the Tariff of
'42," and thereby succeeded in carrying the
election. Their faithlessness all remember.
The tariff of '42 was soon after repealed, and
the present system, which was at the bottom
of the late financial revulsion, established.
It is an incontrovertible fact that the Demo
cratic politicians have always had Free Trade
proclivities they have always opposed a pro
tective tariff, and after the duplicity prac
ticed by them in 1844, we are forced to believe
that they have no idea of carrying out any
pledges they may now make relative to Pro
tection 10 American industry. Xhe oppo
nents of the Democratic party have, on the
other hand, always been tho advocates of the
protective policy, and they are yet. "When
ever they had the opportunity, they put the
system into operation, and invariable under
its workings the commercial, manufacturing,
mechanical, farming, and laboring interests of
all kinds were in the most healthy and flourish
ing condition. These are facts which the peo
ple should remember.
The Xew Orleans Crescent says that some of
the sympathisers in the Vigilant movement,
. since the melancholy failure of that enterprise, !
have been laboring to manufacture assassina
tions and other horrible things to throw npon
tlie American party, with a view of justifying
the conrse of the Vigilance Committee, and,
if possible, bringing about a resuscitation of
that ill-fated concern. All the shooting and
stabbing affairs, all the affrays, and all tho as
saults and batteries that occurred or are said
to have occurred, are promptly attributed by
these apologists for the Vigilance movement
to the American,. party. Ojieimitancerisirc

STJMMAEY OF NEWS.
The Transit Route. A new and most re- j
markable chapter in Central American diplo
macy, has just been unfolded in a letter from a
reliable source to the N. Y. Tribune. The
writer says : "M. Felix Belly and his French
gasconade on the one band, and the old Tran
sit Company with its new treaty on the other,
have been completely ont-gcneraled by Com
modore Vanderbilt, who has made a personal
treaty with Nicaragua, backing it with a loan
of $100,000 from bis own pocket, and has
thereby secured to himself a monopoly of the
Transit Route for a term of years ! " The appre
hensions of onr cotemporaries that Louis Na
poleon was about to take military possession
of the Nicaragua transit, and the nonsense a
bont our fighting him thereupon in pursuance
of "the Monroe doctrine," are all overboard
together. The Transit Route is safe in Amer
ican hands, under a contract which scenres its
reopening within ninety days and its mainte
nance thereafter. So Mons. Belly may retire."
Stobji fit New, York. On Monday after
noon, June 21st, New York city and vicinity
was visited by a severe storm. Several bouses
were blown down, a new church, nearly com
pleted, was laid flat with the ground, chim
neys were blown over, roofs torn off, scaffolds
of unfinished buildings were scattered, fences
prostrated, awnings torn to shreds, and trees
torn out by the root. A number of persons
were more or less injured some having legs
or arms broken. In Brooklin the storm did
much damage. Besides blowing off roots,
demolishing fences, &c, several boats were
capsized. On Long Island the storm was ter
iflc, prostrating buildings, and doing much
other damage. A wing of the American
Flint Glass Works, 150 feet . in length, which
was built of brick, was blown down, and 25
persons, who wero at work in the building,
were buried in the ruins. The groans of those
under the ruins, the agony of parents looking
for children, brothers for sisters, and friends
for friends, all blended in the general tumult,
rendered the scene most heart-rendering and
appalling. Singular as it may seem, with the
exception of two who were Killed, the rest
were taken out of the mass of rubbish with
comparatively slight injuries
A New Movement. A despatch from Wash
ington under date of June 24, says the Ad
ministration meditates a demonstration against
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It is believed in
diplomatic circles that M. Belly acted under
secret instructions from Louis Napoleon,
though he had no official position. The nomi
nation of Marcoletta as Minister to France
confirms this nomination.

The Latest Scandal. Charles Dickens, the
gifted English novelist, has separated from his
wife, and as a natural consequence all sorts of
stories are afloat as to the cause. Some as
sert that it is simply on the ground of an an
cient and unconquerable incompatibility of
their respective characters something like
what Dickens himself says with so much em
phasis in "Davia Copperfield" that "there
can be no disparity in marriago like unsuita
bly of mind and purpose." Others contend
that feasting and fUtery have made Mr. Dick

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
The Republicans of "high Henry," the ban- ,
ner Republican county of Iowa, held a Con
vention at Mount Pleasant on the 29th ult., to
choose Delegates to their Congressional Con
vention. In contemplating the present polit
ical aspects, they, with Western frankness,
say : "During much of the past six months,
wo have beheld a conflict, unparalleled in
fierceness, waged by the champions of Justice
and Freedom, led on by Seward, Douglas,
Crittenden and their noble compeers on one
side, and tho cohorts of loathsome fraud and
shameless despotism, sustained by the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic, on the other aide.
In the height of this mighty struggle, ve have
seen, with indignation, the power and patro
nage of the Government prostituted to seduce
and corrupt the venal, and to strike down life
long Democrats who would not bow to the
dictations of a base-minded despot. And it is
cheering to perceive, in spite of all the nefari
ous wiles of a false Executive, during which
the intelligence flashed along our telegraphic
wires has kept the country agonized with hope
and fear, that the free spirit of the nation is
nnconqnered, and uncontrollable.
"Tho Lecompton swindle has proved too
monstrous in all that is most atrocious and de
testable among decent people to be tolerated
by Democratic servility. It has not only dis
gusted - every honest citizen of tho country,
but has at last aroused the abhorrence of such
men as Douglas, Walker, Stanton, Forney,
and even of Stringfellow. And wo take plea
sure in recording the almost universal revolt
of the Democracy of Iowa against a recreant
President, aided by the felon Calhoun and hia
scoundrel crew of Lecomptonites. Here in
Henry Co., we rejoice to say,we scarcely know
of one who voted for Buchanan, whose stomach
has not been turned by the flagitious attempt
to force npon the long oppresed and outraged
people of Kansas and hated Constitution con
cocted by a presumptuous gang of self-ap
pointed border ruffians. We are equally glad
to find that the dirty contrivance hatched by
English, Stephens and Green, with the low
and criminal design of bribing the free citizens
of a Territory to surrender their rightful sov
ereignty and submit to the yoke of bondage,
meets with little nioro favor. :
"In view of these things, what are we to
think of those who still cling to the gloomy
fortunes and contine to sustain the wicked
schemes of an unprincipled Executive? in
our opinion, there is not to-day in all Chris
tendom a political organization so hostile to
the rights of human nature, to the develop
ment of republican ideas, to the general pro
gress of the human race, as the Lecompton
ponton oi ine democratic party, mere is
not a party, even in Spain, Russia, or Austria,
that dare in the face of the civilized world
blazon its banners with doctrines so hostile to
the rights of man, so repulsive to reason and
justice, as are avowed and upheld by the sup
porters of the present Administration."

The Crittenden Reception. The progress
homeward of Kentucky's noble Senator will
be like the triumphal march of a victorious
hero. The people everywhere on the route
are preparing to give him a hearty greeting
and to express in an unmistakable manner their
approbation of his course, and their high es
teem for this gallant champion of constitution
al rights and State equality.. At Cincinnati
the masses of the people, without party dis
tinction, made arrangements to extend to him
a popular welcome. A committee was op
pointed to meet' him at Columbus and escort
him to Cincinnati on Saturday morning. The
people were to form the escort from the depot
of the Little Miami railroad to the Spencer
House, where tho welcome address was to be
delivered by Governor Corwin. In the even
ing the masses were again to compose hfs es
cort to Oovington, where a most earnest and
liberal spirit had been displayed in the prepa
ration for his reception. One thousand flags,
at ono order, were purchased, on which have
been printed the words, "Welcome to the Old
Kentucky Home." Streamers bearing the
same motto, and other indications of enthusi
astic regard, were to extend across the princi
pal streets, to express the earnest, warm-heart
ed welcome of his constituents to the Inde
pendent Statesman of tho West. .
Mr. Crittenden was to leave Covington for

Mifflin Cocntt. The Lewistown Gazette,
of the 24th June, says : Our community was
considerable startled on Friday afternoon by
the announcement that Daniel Ficbtnorn had
died suddenly at Jack's Creek. In company
with Alex. Eisenbise he had started off in the
morning for the purpose of spending the day
in fishing, &c, and while seated along the
creek eat a considerable quantity of sorrel,
familiarlarly known as sour grass. About 2
o'clock he was seized with violent cramping
pains and immediately taken to the building
at the dam, occupied by Wm. Palmer, where
such restoratives as were at hand were admin
istered, but he soon became conscious that bis
end was approaching, and after giving some
directions respecting his aff.iirs, expired. No
post mortem examination was made, bnt the
general impression prevails that he was poison
ed by tne sorrel or some otner nerb Jie inad
vertantly laid his hands on, though this is evi
dently an error, as poisonous plants do not act
on the muscular system. Mr. F. was a native
of Berks county, and had resided in this place
for a number of years engaged in various
pursuits. His remains attended by a large
number of deeply afflicted relatives and several
hundreds of our citizens, were interred in the

ho was taken by the cramp, or whether his
strength was exhausted we are not informed.
It seems that no effort was made to save him
notwithstanding there were several that saw
him drown. His body was found about two
honrs after the occurrence. He was about 19
or 20 years of age, a young man of fine talent

Here is a government loudly calling for set
tlers, receiving negro colonists in the South
rather than none, unable to defend itself from
enemies external or internal, and granting
powers to individuals to bring colonists into
tho country, paying for them a dollar a head,
but I would think it best to come without any
ceremony. Here is a sparse population, chari
table and hospitable, tolerant to all, and prac
tically addicted, even thfi priests, to the most
invidious of our tenets, polygamy. H.re is

What our Imaginary Southern Pacific
Railroad Costs. The Albany Journal says
that it may not be generally known that we
are building a Pacific Railroad. It is rather
an airy, unsubstantial structure, the rails be
ing laid nowhere except in the imagination ;
but it has already cost us a good deal of money.
The road was begun about four years ago. As
our Government is a Government which legis
lates always for tho South and seldom for the
North, it was a foregone conclusion that tho
railroad must be a Southern railroad. It must
connect with Charleston and Mobile, instead
of New York or Philadelphia, and must link
tho States which talk of forming a Southern
Confederacy to California and the Pacific
coast. We began by sending cut a corps of
Army officers to survey the Southern route.
The first route they surveyed was a route
through Texas. The second route they sur
veyed was a route through Texas. The third
route they surveyed was a route through Tex
as. And so on to the end of the chapter ev
ery one of the dozen routes, with but one or
two exceptions, being a route through Texas.
This Texas engineering took ont of the Trea
sury about $1,000,000. The printing of the
survey cost $750,000j; the Gadsden purchase,
consisting ot sandy desert, agreeably diversi
fied with rocks, too barren of vegetation for
the most part, to support a field mouse all lor
the moderate snm of $10,000,000; a wagon
road $250,000 ; the camels from the cast $250,
000, and the Artesian wells along the route
$500,000. Grand total $13,000,000.
The American Horses in England. The
last steamer from Europe brings intelligence
that a match has been made for a race between
the American horse Prioress and Beadsman,
the winner of tho Derby. The event is to
come off at New-market in October, and the
terms are JC500 aside. The horses are to car
ry even weights (119 lbs. each) notwithstand
ing that Prioress has an advantage of two years
in age over Beadsman. A match has also
lwen made between Mr. Ten Broeck's horse
Babylon, (4 years old,) and Lord Chesterfield's
Telegram, (3 years,) at even weights, for JL'200
aside, to be run the day after the above. Mr.
Ten Broeck's horses, Charlestou and Prioress,
are both entered for the Goodwin cup.
